We Fight for Your Loved Ones
Nursing homes are supposed to ensure that grandparents or elderly parents get the best care possible when we are unable to be there for our loved ones. Nursing home caregivers who inflict emotional abuse and physical abuse, need to be held accountable for their illegal actions. Most elderly victims are not able to defend themselves or report mistreatment.
